Up to 35,000 adult elephants are killed for their tusks each year, leaving
behind traumatised and vulnerable baby elephants. The David Sheldrick

work hard to rescue these infants, often the victim of poachers, reaching
and transporting the often fragile youngsters and then seeing to their
welfare and rehabilitation.

rescue
